The music plays in the large room of Max's, her being in the room with Annabelle, Tequila, Veronica and Jerica, all four of them helping Max pack up different things to get ready for her to be leaving for New York next week.

"So Max. I know there is some trouble in paradise between you and Vin." Veronica starts. "Care to cure my nosey self since he won't tell me? And he gets all nervous when you are in the same room as him."

"Yeah I noticed that." Annabelle adds in.

"Oooo drama. I want all the tea." Jerica smiles.

"Are you guys good?" Tequila asks.

"He just pissed me off." Max replies, her not wanting to tell all of them about proposing. She knows the more people she tells the more prone Sam is to find out and she knows that Sam would probably kill Vincent since he didn't follow Italian tradition. And as much as he pissed her off, she doesn't want him getting hurt or yelled at because of it. "It was just because the boys went off to beat up Decker when I already took care of him when he called me a bitch."

"The guy you slammed against the locker?" Jerica asks.

"Yup."

"You do know it is their duty and command to protect you and do things like that to make sure no one dares mess with you?" Tequila asks.

"Yeah I know, and I understand more why that's the case." Max sighs. "Dad told me what happened with Auntie Maxine. It put a lot into perspective for me. Why he was always so hard on me when it came to training as well as Sabrina, and why he is so protective over me. It was a very tragic story."

"It is a tragic story." Annabelle replies.

"Yeah I cried when I heard it." Tequila mentions.

"So everyone knew about it except me?" Max asks.

"Nah, he told us about her too. He said it was time for all of us to know." Tequila responds. "Hell that would kind of haunt me too. I felt so bad for your Dad, you can tell it was a vulnerable moment for him when he was explaining it to us."

"Yeah." Max sighs. "But he let me go and I am grateful, I just have to call him everyday which is fine I plan on doing it anyway to check up on mom since her due date is in a few weeks."

"So will you be here when she has the baby?" Jerica asks.

"No, but I will be here to come visit after she has the baby." Max replies. "I know she would want me getting settled in rather than being there waiting while she is giving birth."

"True." Annabelle replies. "Found a place yet?"

"I'm letting Ethan and Uncle Brett handle it, they are the best at finding places since they are the Smuggler's of the group always traveling about, they know the right people." Max replies.
